Parkland fined extra $10,000 for failing to pay $1 million fine on time

Parkland Memorial Hospital has learned its fate for failing to pay part of a $1 million fine when it originally was due in September.

The Texas Department of State Health Services on Friday imposed an additional $10,000 penalty on Parkland. An official with DSHS said that amount will come out of the $250,000 held in abeyance as outlined in the agreement when it was levied in late August.

As our own Brooks Egerton reported Monday, DSHS only realized earlier this month that the fine hadn’t been paid.
